Nah, as long as San Antonio has Pop, Buford, and Budenholzer, they'll manage to pull someclassy
Not sure if I can bring myself to watch the NBA this season now.
How do the Lakers always have it so easy? It's a farce, an absolute joke.

With a couple of coach-killers like Kobe and Dwight Howard, I sure hope the Lakers have a strong, assertive, confident . . .
Vaughm is probably having second thoughts about being the HC now....I know I would. Aside from the money and being right next to Disney World, and probably getting a discount to go to the park, there is absolutely nothing positive about being the HC of the Magic right now.
Nash will be their only chance to have cohesion. But it will work. Oh well.
Vaughn will be branded as the man who ran Dwight Howard out of town.
I am not saying that acquiring Dwight Howard does not help the Lakers because it does…Just hoping that Mitch hits a home run by trading Pau Gasol & a bunch of money for Kevin Luv or Chris Paul…That is the deal that WE really need…Also it is a shame that the Lakers traded Baby Drew…He was just coming into his own…Oh well got to keep Stern happy I guess...
I'm annoyed at what Orlando has done. I would have gotten it if they traded for expiring contracts and pick, if they knew there was no way they were going to get near comparable value for Howard (e.g., Bynum). It wouldn't have been great, but at least they would get to tankdum sooner rather than later, while taking advantage of the pass from the fans who'll be too pissed at Howard to notice.
By losing Howard and J. Rich and taking Harrington and Afflalo's long-term deals Orlando's ceiling becomes at perpetual 35 win team -- MAX (and that's generous). That is, they won't be bad enough. If your goal is to get into the lottery, they should have done something like take back Elton Brands expiring when it was available earlier this summer, along with picks, drafts rights to players playing abroad, etc.
I'm in the camp that if you're not going to be great, then the next best thing to be piss poor as opposed to meddling in the 6-10th seed range. It's an approach i hope the Spurs follow when the time comes in a few years.
How was the Nets deal not better than this?
they might as well had sent him to the rockets and I don't buy the whole people going to Lakers cause they grew up watching them because Magic should have sent Howard to whoever would have taken him who would have given them the best deal, Howard didn't walk away like Shaq did, he was traded there and they didn't bring in Bynum. This trade makes no sense and the 1st round picks according to Stephen A. are protectd, what is that. This screams dumb and stupid which leaves me assking, what is really going on behind the scenes. No one makes this deal even a novice could have done a better deal but major execs did this, something stinks as always, within sports.
Yeah, I know, getting the league's best center isn't enough for your spoiled asses... such a hardship, tbh...
lakeshow vs heat in every finals for the next decade.
*yawn*
stern wins again.
I am not saying that getting Dwight is a hardship…I am saying that the Lakers fans deserve so much more…
Nah, I think you've all been spoiled enough for five lifetimes, tbh....
is its safe now to say ill never watch an nba game until theres a new commish?
is it cool now?
It's not going to happen. The Spurs cut through Utah because Utah had no business in the playoffs to begin with, and through the Clippers because of injury. Having to mount huge comebacks against injured teams doesn't bode well in the long run.
The Lakers' path doesn't really effect the Spurs' championship hopes, which were born and will die in the career of Tim Duncan.
You guys seem to all think the concept of the NBA is to build a winning franchise. It's about making money. Some teams will do that regardless so they can focus on winning, but other teams rely on all the loop hole profits from revenue sharing. Sure there's collusion in the league, but a trade doesn't have to make sense compe ion wise for it to be the best deal for Orlando.
So wait, the Nuggets have Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, AND Gallinari? lol they're the best in the league at SF. At least the most complete.
That's the concept of every sports league, yet the NFL has relative parity AND ridiculously-valuable franchises across the board, tbh...
i was on a magic forum for a little... and surprisingly, most were okay with the trade. they said:
-that they have great pieces to build around
-that they cleared cap space
-that they got three 1st round draft picks... even though they're from playoff bound teams
aaron afflalo headlining the deal... and he's owed more than jason richardson... wtf was the magic thinking?
I can't believe the Lakers get Duhon and Clark as well.
And I can't believe what a ty trade that is for the Magic.
Yeah, and I just remembered the picked up Jamison a while ago too.
Duncan wanted to play for the Lakers ?
him and his TOSB ass
Duhon's complete garbage so I wouldn't worry about him
Son, those hicks need to stick to college sports and baseball, because they CLEARLY don't know anything about the NBA, tbh....i was on a magic forum for a little... and surprisingly, most were okay with the trade. they said:
